I'm useless at electrics as well so if a simple cable change can cause all your woes I'm totally buggered with this that I've got to sort out later this year, and the underbonnet is far worse:

Yeah and the lord spoke to me in a dream and he said "Travel to the East and thy will be rewarded". And I did travel to the East and the journey was good, even though the Devil's light of ignition shined in mine eyes. "Travel till thous't come to the sign of the vee double U, there thee shall meet my representative on Earth, thous't shall refer to him as The Pope, dare you not call him Jason as you are not worthy". So I travelled as commanded and did meet the Pope in person but did not kiss his ring.
He cast his eyes upon the unworthy offering of campervan I brought to him, and he became much vexed. He remained much vexed for several hours and tried many incantations and smited my van with the AVO of the lord to no avail.
Eventually the Pope cast me from his abode saying, "Get yea hence from this place and avail yourself of an alternator from the just kampers as your alternator has strayed from the path of righteousness and should be cast into the abyss.
Before yea goest, I shall use the blessed cable ties of faith to secure your hot start relay. Then whilst under the unworthy van an epiphany from God struck the Pope and he said, "Oh look, a wire which is not connected to its righteous place" And verily it was the alternator's wire of Earth which had been cunningly hidden by the Devil's own spawn.
Hallelujah cried the faithful, hand me my telephone so I may commune with the church of spare parts and cancel the alternator of doom from the just campers and offer up thankful prayers to the holy man who saved me from much gnashing of teeth and my wallet from such despair and destitution.
Truly I have seen the light.

That's interesting having had alternator earth problems myself. Perhaps his grace could describe where to find this earth wire as I don't think I have one.
Mine has one fat wire to the battery and the loom to the regulator, which unlike pkrboo's doesn't have an earth connection.

Oh how we laughed... 😂
Although twas not the earth of faith, twas the live from thine alternator to the starter. At first glance I thought Bob had just left the old battery lead hanging there, so was feeding it through to the engine bay when Bob noticed it was going to the loom of doom...
Oh how laughed... 😂

So it was Bob's own fault. Easily done with all the cables on the starter stud, one usually springs away and tries to hide.

Whilst it is true that I did remove and change the power cables from the battery to the starter and the problem started immediately after that and long before anyone else touched the van, it is far too early to apportion blame. What we should be focusing on at this difficult time is how to ensure such a terrible incident never occurs again and a full review all our procedures and working practices will take place as soon as practically possible when budgetary restraints allow. I can also state for the record that to restore public confidence and to apportion blame if necessary I have instituted a full public inquiry and have already appointed Sir John Chilcot, GCB PC to chair this inquiry. He is expected to announce his findings within the next five or six years.
